Justice Sonia Sotomayor reflected Friday on her time on the Supreme Court, admitting that some of the high court’s decisions have driven her to tears.

“There are days that I’ve come to my office after an announcement of a case and closed my door and cried,” Sotomayor said Friday at an event honoring her at Harvard University.

“There have been those days. And there likely will be more,” she added in the speech, per the The New York Times.

The Harvard event was held as the Supreme Court heads toward the last several weeks of the term. The court is expected to deliver opinions on several high-profile cases, including one determining whether former President Trump should be immune from prosecution for the charges against him for allegedly working to overturn the 2020 election, and another concerning the legality of abortion pills such as mifepristone.

Hahaha. How sweet.

[kiryandil]

Many lesbians are fortunate that it hasn’t driven her to queers...

[nickcarraway]

Driven to Tears, like the song?

[toddausauras]

Women should not be in any leadership roles I’m sorry.

[xp38]

Are you crying? There is no crying in Supreme Court decisions!

Supreme Court determinations should never be made on the basis of spurious emotions.

[DesertRhino]

Too emotionally unstable to be on the court. A big thanks to GHW Bush for making her a federal judge.

Oh please LORD! Grant the Wise Latina MANY MORE DAYS of closing her door and crying because of sane, constitutional rulings...

[Clutch Martin]

Were the judgements constitutional? Or, did the justice have a better idea to circumvent that, which under oath she swore to uphold? If she is that emotional regarding Constitutional law, and would put that aside to assuage her emotions... perhaps she should resign from the bench.

Didn’t she deny at oral testimony in Dobbs that unborn babies can feel pain as they were being chopped up.

[mass55th]

RATS would rather she die, so Joe can replace her with an even bigger liberal douche bag.

[Reno89519]

Well, let her wait until the end of the year and then she can retire.

[OrioleFan]

Think she’ll retire next year?

[EastTexasTraveler]

The communist can’t stand it. Too bad.

[MinorityRepublican]

The Democrats would want her to retire this summer because there’s a good chance that Trump will win (assuming this election will be honest).

[rllngrk33]

So, the wise Latina is a snow flake and can’t take it when she doesn’t get her way?
